1999 Mazda 323 LXi review from UK and Ireland
"Reliable and frugal workhorse"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
ABS light comes on sporadically for no apparent reason, but usually goes off again after a few minutes.
Front tyres wear quickly.
General comments?
This is not a high performance car, but it's not meant to be. That's not to say it isn't powerful enough though.
It is completely reliable & very economical. It drives as well today as it did when I bought it 5 years ago.
The interior is a little boring, but adequate & comfortable enough for long journeys to mainland Europe from the UK.
Service items are a little more expensive than mainstream brands, but not extortionate.
Would I buy another one? Yes!
